Profile:
For many years, one of the leading utility players in the country,
Madanlal proved his value to the side both with his courageous middle
order batting and his nippy medium pace bowling. He was useful both
in Test cricket - as he proved while bowling India to victory over
England at Bombay in 1981 or by rescuing the country by scoring a
gallant 74 against Pakistan at Bangalore in 1983 - and in the one day
game - he was one of the heroes of the 1983 World Cup winning side and
earned his name by his spell of three quick wickets that broke the
back of the West Indies batting in the final. He was first picked for
the 1974 tour of England based largely on some outstanding
performances around the domestic circuit. He remained an integral part
of the Indian team till the 1977-78 tour of Australia. Then for some
inexplicable reason, he was out of the side till he was brought back
for the series against England in 1981-82. He performed commendably,
proving that he had received a raw deal from the selectors for three
years, and was then a regular member of the team till 1985. Replaced
by younger medium pacers, Madanlal was brought back for two Tests in
England in 1986 - he wasn't a member of the touring squad but was
playing in league cricket - and again did well.
At the domestic level, Madanlal was both a prolific run getter and
regular wicket-taker, frequently rescuing his team from a bad start or
by taking some quick wickets. His all round record in the Ranji Trophy
- 5270 runs and 351 wickets - is one of the best in the national
competition. After retirement, he has kept in close touch with the
game by becoming the coach of the A team and later the senior squad
and then a national selector. (Partab Ramchand)
